Kris and David are guestless as we discuss the week that was August 26-September 3, 2000, a Patreon request from Ted Bell, who dropped the $25 for us to cover this week. Topics of discussion include:

  • Changes coming for the WWF creative staff, which comes at an interesting time because....
  • Raw and Smackdown focusing on Triple H and Chyna interacting on TV for the first time in almost a year, which angers their onscreen significant others, Stephanie McMahon and Eddie Guerrero. We talk about how insane this all was, how it seemed like it was building towards a Triple H/Chyna reunion, and why we think it only lasted one week of TV before being dropped cold.
  • SummerSlam 2000, which features the WWF’s first-ever TLC match with Edge and Christian vs. The Dudley Boyz vs. The Hardy Boyz, as well as Shane McMahon being a maniac and Kurt Angle finishing the main event with a concussion among lots of other news and notes.
  • Kazushi Sakuraba dislocating Renzo Gracie's elbow at Pride 10, which was quite the newsworthy show in general, as it also featured the infamous “Petey, my heart!” fight with Ken Shamrock quitting against Kazuyuki Fujita.
  • Atsushi Onita returning to AJPW while Masahiro Chono vs. Masa Fuchi at the Budokan officially kicked off the AJPW vs. NJPW feud.
  • Otto Wanz folding his CWA promotion in Austria.
  • Fishman losing his mask at the infamous debacle of a super show from GWAS in Mexico, which he never got paid for.
  • Night two of ECW’s debut weekend at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC as they put on what was arguably their last great show.
  • WCW, of course..featuring VINCE RUSSO IN THE DESERT, plus Mike Awesome becoming That 70's Guy, Paul Orndorff being jacked as hell while starting his feud with the Natural Born Thrillers, Kevin Nash eating some Korean, and tons more insanity.

This one is damn wild and a CAN’T-MISS SHOW!!!
